Is there a way to get a permit to cast spells in Athkatla?

How did these low lives get one? Because i notice Shagbag didn't draw the attention of the Crowley Mages, when he casting. And i had to tell Edwin to attack melee only.

Talk to Cornelius in the Government District.
UPDATE: Its doesn't matter what class the bhaal spawn is... but its a 5000 gold fee.
I honestly don't like how every Mage in the city can cast except for you. The very first time I played BG2, I expected there to be a cut-scene showing a few CW's dooring in and blasting some bandits to hammer home this is a poor-mage-free zone.
The real explanation is probably an engine limitation thingy, but inconsistent enforcement, and a double standard for the suspicious newcomer, you, could be an in-game justification.
The Cowled Wizards don't detect spells cast underground, or even indoors sometimes, at least not without SCS2. Maybe the Cowled Wizards can't be bothered to detect magic in every single corner of the city, same way the police don't put cameras in every house.
